Master Of None

Adam had discerned a myriad of information just from an examination. It was much more than Walker had been able to gain from his own appraisal ability. Adam had even found that it was a she and not a he. It was an amazing skill that he must have used to find all of this. There was also the fact that he had found the unique skill that the glowing mole had because of its additional light elemental affinity and albino coloring.Â

The light crystal claw sounded as if it would make the mole a deadly force when it came to battle. However, Walker had no idea what the skill actually did and would have to wait some years before the mole had been hatched and grown to see something like it. He could always study it but it was most likely what the skill sounded like. Claws made of crystal and light elemental mana.Â

"How can you tell all of that? Do you have an appraisal skill?" It was clear that Adam did have an appraisal skill but Walker was curious as to what the appraisal skill was called. It might be useful in the future if it was some form of all around monster egg appraisal skill that was more versed and informational when it came to monster eggs.Â

"Hm? It's my earth beast appraisal skill.. Only comes with the whole earth tamer thing. I thought some hero kid would have caught that. So, what do you want for it? I have a decent few things to trade. I don't do gold." Adam poured out a bag of ores, small accessories, and a few grand elemental crystals. "Gold is useless. It's money and nothing else. But these, they have value. You can craft, make improvements, or even give them as food. Way better than useless decorative garbage gold."Â

This was all true and Walker couldn't argue. Yet, it was very odd that a dwarf was saying one of the ores were useless. Most other dwarves would probably have punched him right there. They collected all ores from the earth and gold was one of them. They found value in it all and were often only selective when they needed one specifically.Â

Seeing the options, Walker used his own all around appraisal skill and was shocked to see the results,

'Pure moonstone

Refined under the light of the moon, this ore has grown for seventy years before being mined. It is only found on mountains devoid of snow and close to the full moon. Incredibly useful for healing equipment or staffs.

Vibrant Emerald ore

The emerald gem is perfectly infused with an iron ore causing it to become an emerald colored metal. The armor made from this can channel the earth elemental mana much better and adds extreme strength when physical defense is concerned. Has a high fire resistance and is extremely hard to craft with.Â

Tainted copper

Tainted copper is only formed in an area full of darkness elemental mana. This was found in the lair of an undead dwarf blacksmith that continued to craft even beyond death. Most items and ores were destroyed by the darkness elemental mana seeped in to this copper causing it to have darkness elemental enhancing effects.Â

Natural adamantite ore

The rarest ore in the world. It had no elemental weakness and holds whatever elemental affinity that is added to it. Only a master blacksmith has a small chance of forging this. It is so incredibly challenging to work with that even dwarves find it useless. Only a master would even attempt to change its form or shape. Those that manage to forge with it will gain an item of unrivaled defensive and magical defensive strength.

False adamantite ingot

Created through a magical skill and a dwarfs' forging skills, this ingot is easier to work with and boasts strength that rivals orichalchum. Unfortunately, due to its forced creation, it is weaker and does not hold the same magical defense. It is ideal for crafting defensive equipment such as shields.'

Walker could look at the other elemental mana crystals or some of the more common ores all he wanted. But he only saw one useful choice. He wanted the natural adamantite. The only problem was that it said it would be useless to even dwarves. If this was the case then, could the wandering blacksmith even craft with it? If not, would this just be a major loss?

After biting his tongue and shaking the worries from his mind, Walker reached out, "I want this natural adamantite. Is that alright?" When it was grasped in his hand, Walker couldn't help but find it was incredibly tough to lift. It was heavy and dense. So much so that he felt strained lifting the chunk of metal. "How could you even carry this?"Â

"I'm a dwarf kid. I'm stronger than I look. But if that's what you want sure. Take the emerald ore too. It should equal out the value if you can't do anything but leave that piece of rock as a souvenir." It didn't sound like there was much hope in Adams' voice that Walker would craft anything with the natural adamantite. But it was a nice gesture.Â

Adam pulled a large back that had been lined with light and earth elemental crystals. He placed the egg inside and closed it. "Now eat up and start to grow. I will carry you around like this for a little while. But when you come on out if there we will dig to the center of the world." The goal may have been odd, but it was his own and Walker was not going to judge adam for it at all.Â

"Elise said you brought an egg for a future tamer that we helped rescue. Do you think I can look at it? I'm a bit curious." Walker had to see what a treant egg looked like. It had been eating away at him since he lacked knowledge about them.Â
